With all due respect, and that respect comes from my interactions with westerners..... 56% of Ontario did not vote liberal....... (yes some voted NDP, but we all have our weirdos)..... so why paint everyone with the same brush?..... and why is an election result the deciding factor to do so?.....
As for measuring easterners based on those that head out west to work the patch, that is a very selective sample and consists mainly of those that want the money, and a better life for their family...... patch work is hard work, and I commend anyone that is willing to do it....... I was done the hard work phase of my life when I left the forces..... the liberal government killed manufacturing in this country, so I studied past my university education and changed fields to logistics..... my province may accept transfer payments, but it isn't because of guys like me...... the taxes I paid last year were higher than the Canadian mean salary.....
No doubt we need improvement as a country and how money is dispersed, but to infight will help nothing.... there are epicentres of crap in every province....... and good people end up in those epicenters for no other reason than they have to support their family and need money..... a situation I can identify with......
I will tell you this though..... been on this board a long time, and there are members I would love to meet and have a pint with from every province and possibly enjoy a hunt as well.......
We aren't all as different or divided as some may think......
